Last Sunday, Sarah and I headed up to the SBACC for a big round of puppy photos. They've had a larger-than-usual influx of adoptables, so we were really excited to see the newbies! We photographed fourteen dogs in two hours - sooo much fun! Love what a team we've become. :)
A few of the pups are wearing sweaters and t-shirts, as it had been pretty cold at night that week. If you have any old dog clothes that your pup hates (coughDantecough) or no longer fits into, please send them to the shelter!
First up are Benny & Vinnie. These guys have become such brothers that the shelter has decided to only put them up for adoption as a pair. And they're quite the pair! If you're looking for dogs who you won't have to worry about when you're at work, this is them. As luck would have it, a volunteer that they LOVE came by right when we were starting to work with them, so he was a good sport and let them take over his lap while I shot away. :)
Next up is Butters, who I really feel should be called Mister Butters. He just has that personality, y'know? :) Very sweet, especially when his favorite volunteer came by to say hi while we were working. The right owner would have a super loyal and loving dog in Butters!
The big ears kill me every time!
Cody's mohawk was awesome, and his fur was so soft! He was a prince to work with, very calm and sweet. Four frames was all it took!
Next is Lori...this sweet mama made me want to snatch her up and make a run for it! She's a labrador mix and her fur is that unique blend of black and brown - you can see the individual different hairs, so gorgeous.
You can just tell she'd be the kind of pet who'd call 911 for you. :) And she already knows sit and stay!
We loved Mabel - those wee ears are too cute! A very distinguished older lady, she just wanted kisses and snuggles.
Maddie wasn't too keen on my camera, which is fine of course, but I still managed to sneak a few frames of her cute face. She's a doxie/min pin mix and loved being in Sarah's lap!
Molly is a great chihuahua mix that was hell-bent on getting back to her roommates so she could play. :) Again with the big ears, they slay me!
Riley looks an awful lot like Butters, but he's a tad bigger and looks like he has more terrier in him. He was super cuddly and sweet. (I know I seem to say that about all of them, but its funny how true it really is!)
Sasha...oh Sasha. This very tall Shepherd mix must have some Great Dane or maybe Rhodesian Ridgeback in her, she's so lanky! Such a sweet, sweet girl, despite being skin and bones - she really reminded me of what Dante was like when I brought him home.
As it turns out, her tickle spot is her chest - we cracked up when she started jiggling her back leg in delight!
I wanted to take Taka home with me too! Those little elfish ears and cute little mouth are a killer combo. She's a real sweetie!
It feels weird calling another dog Teddy, but this little Pomeranian mix definitely deserved it with his cute face!
With his big ears and compact body, I'm thinking maybe there's some Corgi in there too? Either way, he's very cuddly and intelligent little guy.
Tommy is a super friendly spaniel mix. He was a little scared of looking directly at my camera, but he allowed my presence as long as I gave him regular belly rubs. :)
So there you have it! If you know of anyone who's looking for a new family member, look no further than the SBACC. Every dog is vaccinated, checked for any problems and constantly loved until they find a permanent home. :) Also, make sure to call ahead before going to see a particular dog, because sometimes the website hasn't yet been updated.
Also, some were asking about status updates on previously posted pups. I'm super happy to share that out of all those I'm photographed, Daisy is the only one who hasn't yet been adopted (which is unbelievable to me, she's such a sweetheart!). I wish I could hug each and every awesome family!!
